5. You are given a list of binary compounds (only two different elements) and asked to determine the relative melting points. a) Which would have the higher melting point, the binary ionic compounds or the binary covalent compounds? Explain your choice? b) If you have two different ionic compounds, like Bal; and Mgo, which would have the higher melting point and why? c) For those compounds that are covalent, which would you expect to have the higher melting point and why (what would you be looking for – give an example)?

The lattice energy of LiF is 1023 kJ/mol, and the Li—F distance is 200.8 pm. NaF crystallizes in the same structure as LiF but with a Na—F distance of 231 pm. Which of the following values most closely approximates the lattice energy of NaF: 510, 890, 1023, 1175, or 4090 kJ/mol? Explain your choice.
7.74 In a lattice, a positive ion is often surrounded by eight negative ions. We might reason, therefore, that the lattice energy should be related to eight times the potential of interaction between these oppositely charged particles. Why is this reasoning too simpler?
If lithium and fluorine react, which has more attraction for an electron? Why?
Predict the trend in lattice energy, from least negative to most negative, for the following compounds based on the ion charges and ionic radii; LiI, LiF, CaO, RbI.

Which of the following best explains why molecular compounds tend have lower melting points than ionic compounds?A) Molecular compounds are held together by covalent bonds, and ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds. Covalent bonds tend to be weaker than ionic, so less energy is required to break covalent bonds than ionic. Thus, molecular melting points are lower. B) Molecular compounds are held together by covalent bonds, and ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds. However, it is the noncovalent intermolecular forces that break when molecular compounds melt, which tend to be weaker and require less energy to break than ionic bonds. Thus, molecular melting points are lower. C) Molecular compounds are made only of nonmetal atoms, and ionic compounds are made of metal and nonmetal atoms. The covalent bonds between nonmetal atoms are weaker than they are between metal and nonmetal atoms, so less energy is needed to break nonmetal-nonmetal bonds. Thus, molecular melting…
9) Solid MgO Liquid MgO Based on the diagram above, which of the following best helps to explain why MgO(s) is not able to conduct electricity, but MgO(1) is a good conductor? O MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions held in a fixed lattice, but in MgO() the ions are free to move, and can therefore conduct electricity. MgO(s) contains molecules, but MgO(1) consists of a fixed lattice of Mg2+ and O2- ions that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain free electrons, but MgO(1) contains free electrons that can flow. MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions, but MgO(1) contains molecules that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain water, but MgO(0) contains water that can conduct electricity.
